The Jimtown Store
One of my favorite drawing spaces. The Jimtown store in Alexander Valley is a cozy bit of home. It is beyond charming. Last sunday I spent the morning painting there. Here is the view from the corner table.

Jet lag painting
The time difference between Hong Kong and the Bay Area is cruel. I’ve been at Lucasfilm for a week now and am still struggling to deal with the jet lag. Since I can’t sleep I figure I might as well paint. Here’s my little drowsy eyed, late night doodle.

Little Orange Sketchbook
This is a small Moleskine sketchbook only 2.5 x 4 inches. Drawn in Hong Kong, it took just over a month to finish.
Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens
This morning I had to go to central Hong Kong for a CPR class and brought with me a bag full of gouache paints in anticipation of finding something to paint.
